The Real Housewives of Orange County celebrated “Friendsgiving” on Monday night, but Vicki Gunvalson and her daughter were not breaking any wishbones after Gunvalson admitted she had gotten back together with boyfriend Brooks.

“He didn’t deserve to be annihilated by you,” Gunvalson said, referring to last year’s reunion, in which her daughter accused Brooks of leaving a message instructing her husband to hit her to keep her in line.

“You’ve told me he’s verbally abusive,” Briana continued.

“No, I didn’t!” Gunvalson screamed. “I wrote a book about abuse, I’ve been abused Brooks has never abused me! I am telling you, he has never abused me, or I wouldn’t be with the man!”

“I am so over this conversation,” her daughter said. “You’re always going to defend him.”

“I’m choosing to forgive,” Gunvalson replied.

“I just don’t like the guy,” said Briana. “At the end of the day … if he makes you happy, cool … but I can’t have this in my life.”

Meanwhile, the drinks were flowing freely at new housewife Shannon Beador‘s dinner party, and skewering Heather Dubrow seemed to be the main course.

“She has this chip on her shoulder,” Tamra Barney said of Dubrow, as the wives swilled and spilled drinks, and then played basketball in their tight dresses. “She’s up here, we’re down here.”

“Here’s to girls who keep it real. No ‘fancy pants’ here,” Barney said in reference to Dubrow after doing giant shots of vodka with Beador. “I’d love to see her burp, maybe even fart.”

Continued Barney: “I wish she’d take the stick out of her a–– because it’s lodged” – a comment overheard by Dubrow as she eavesdropped from the stairs.
